“AT HUNTER DOUGLAS, GREAT DESIGN DRIVES OUR THINKING.”

For 70 years, the Hunter Douglas development of award-winning, proprietary innovations has been driven by a single philosophy – – that great products are rooted in great design.

Merging form and function, our products become essential ingredients in creating beautiful homes. This design commitment also leads to window treatments that do more than just cover windows. Light control, privacy, energy efficiency and UV protection are just some of the benefits we build into our products to make everyday living more comfortable and enjoyable. With exciting advances in smart home technologies, our motorized products also help window treatments pioneer exciting new roles within connected home lifestyles.

The same marriage of form and function drives innovations within our Architectural businesses. Managing light, energy, and sound in unique, beautiful and sustainable ways are at the core of our commercial ceiling, wall and facade products, allowing architects and designers maximum flexibility in all their creative endeavors. Underlying all our successes is a team of extremely talented and dedicated employees who work together to deliver the best in products, programs and services. Open-minded, curious and eager to innovate, our people are constantly devising new and improved ways of adding value for our consumers and dealer partners.

Hunter Douglas and its employees are also dedicated to improving the communities in which we live, work and do business. For over 25 years we have partnered with Habitat for Humanity, bringing Habitat homes to life via the donation of over 400,000 window coverings to-date and countless hours of ‘sweat equity’ invested by our employees. Hunter Douglas has also contributed millions of dollars toward the relief of those affected by natural disasters, and we continue to support a wide array of other worthy organizations at both the national and local levels.

As we look to the future, we’re excited by the possibilities that await us and we are committed to continuing our heritage of great design innovation and superior customer service.
